- Go to EMTLIFE post for today..."Why did that go well" and our culture of blame
majroj, taken from a chapter in Brian Tracy's new audio, & otherwise bk.
Flight Plan. He says that a real leader writes down Misson Accomplished and then asks why that happened. Ten things that were done correctly, or more. Why they worked.
All info is kept for future reference when similar things appear on the agenda....
Then the ten things that went wrong during the successful mission or ten things that IF THEY HAD BEEN DONE would have made it fail.
He says that bosses accepting responsibility and finding out the TRUTH about what goes wrong makes the turnaround time and the success rate change radically.
Those who delay while playing the anybody but me is responsible and the blame game just postpone, if not totally cancel out success or turnaround. This allows failure to occur yet again and again.
Just makes plain common sense, now, huh?? Like you said....
Now, just how to teach that to two year old grandsons???

Praise and appreciation are under-rated---
My parents thought only negative feedback had any instructive value, and were dedicated to the notion that any positive feeback would make me conceited.
They were wrong, of course, and created such a starvation/need in me for appreciation that it has colored my life, and not in a good way!
